Re: sshd in Windows 2003 server


The shortcut for all of that process is to run the below:

mount -f -s -b "<DOS path to Cygwin installation directory>/bin" "/usr/bin"
mount -f -s -b "<DOS path to Cygwin installation directory>/lib" "/usr/lib"
mount -f -s -b "<DOS path to Cygwin installation directory>" "/"

FWIW, following the reporting guidelines at <http://cygwin.com/problems.html>
would have given the list this information in your initial post.  In other
words, there's good stuff at this page. :-)

But as you can see, there is more than one way to a solution. :-)
